The largest users of stationary power generation energy are the manufacturing
sector at 32 percent and the mining industry at 24 percent. The main gas
consumer within manufacturing is the basic non-ferrous metals sector (includes
manufacturing of alumina and aluminium metals). This sector accounts for 43
per cent of the projected increase in manufacturing sector energy by 2030. Of
this increase (206 peat joules), 62 percent is accounted for by growth in gas use

Within the Port Adelaide Enfield Council boundary there is no record of specific
electricity and emissions generation by commercial, industrial and residential
sectors. However, Planet Footprint has developed a methodology to calculate
greenhouse emissions from the residential sector on the basis of greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions generated per resident per day (fig. 4) and on Council's
corporate carbon footprint indicators within the Council boundary.
Council's Corporate Greenhouse gas, energy and water Inventory
Council participated in the ICLEI Cities for Climate Protection Program from
1998 to 2009. The CCP assisted Council to accumulate data to measure and
monitor energy use and greenhouse gas emissions from Council's own
operations.
The Port Adelaide Enfield Council engaged an external organisation called
Planet Footprint to begin scorekeeping Council's Energy and GHG emissions in
July 2008.,
